Francis,

If you feel like tilting at windmills...

There's a really out of date branch in the working repo:

working/user/dyrcona/freebsd-compat

And there is this:

http://dev198.esilibrary.com/~berick/eg_freebsd.html

Hope that helps.

BTW, I am a FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD user myself.

And sorry if I come off as mean or off-putting. I tend to be terse and seem gruff in email.

Jason

and is this desirable... I'm having a hard time grokking this.


I suggest you install the latest Debian GNU/Linux or Ubuntu 12.04 or 14.04
and try that.

This isn't for a production machine which would make this the recommendation.


AFAIK, no one has even attempted OpenBSD, and the work to get Evergreen to
even install on FreeBSD was aborted well over two years ago.

I am *that one* who is attempting to see if it can be done.

Heya,

I am in the midst of attempting an install of Evergreen on OpenBSD and
I am running into something odd. Apologies since it isn't immediately
clear how to search the archives.


I have OpenBSD -current

Description:
This is a library for parsing the XML language.

When I run the following step.

PATH=opensrf-2.4.0/bin:$PATH ./configure --prefix=/opensrf-2.4.0
--with-libxml2=/usr/local/include/libxml2
--with-apxs=/usr/local/sbin/apxs2 --sysconfdir=/opensrf-2.4.0/conf

I get the configure: error: ***OpenSRF requires xml2 development headers

Thing is I know said headers are there.

ls -lR /usr/local/include/libxml2

Was wondering if there's anyone who can point me in the right direction.

Cheers,
